bloating theories       05/05/05 01:53 PM Edit Reply Quote Little Minnie Reged: 04/16/04 Posts: 4987 Loc: Minnesota Bloating is my special quest. I have been trying to understand more about it for some time. The problem is that it is a mystery to doctors! and nothing really helps it 100%. You have to drink fennel tea though- lots- at least 2 cups. I find 1 cup doesn't do it. And stick to the diet well. Getting dehydrated is a big cause of bloating. Sometimes if I get bloated out of the blue I drink lots and it goes away. Other important things are, exercise, not eating too much at one time and never letting yourself get hungry. I bloated the other day before dinner because I got hungry before I realized. Beyond that bloating can sometimes be inexplicable and just a rut I get in. It feels like my intestines are twisted up like a magician's balloon figure. Fennel tea is awesome as well as heat on the tummy, but staying strict on the diet and staying hydrated and as regular as possible are very important too! -------------------- IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages: "You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
